On April 4, their first maxi single, titled "Biological slicer", was released, and in May, 静海 (Shizumi) joined the band. With this lineup, kagerou performed many concerts around the country.
However, shortly after the band played at Meguro Live Station on October 11, MASAYA left the band, causing kagerou to go on a temporary hiatus while looking for a new bassist. The group became active again after 喰耶 (Kuya) joined as the replacement bassist. Kuya didn't remain as bassist for very long, and left the band on August 25. Luckily, KAZU filled the bassist position almost immediately, and remained in the band for the rest of its existence. This lineup would be kagerou's most famous lineup. In December of 2001, kagerou and ムック (MUCC) held a four-date coupling tour.
kagerou had a busy year in 2002 with in-store performances and many more performances from spring to summer. They toured constantly and released "XII dizzy" in early 2004. They began a long tour that ran straight until April, took a break in the summer, and then released 落首 (Rakushu) in August, followed by another tour. In February 2005 the band went on their first overseas tour to Germany and France. They also appeared at the Rock im Park festival in Germany. In October, the band ended the year with a coupling tour with D'espairsRay across Japan and throughout Europe.
At the live of September 16, 2006, at LIQUIDROOM Ebisu, they stated their disbandment. On December 27 they released a final best album, 心中歌, followed by a DVD 蜉蝣最終公演 (Kagerou Saishuu Kouen), released March 28, 2007. They went to Europe for two final tours before their last live performance on January 8, 2007.

アゲル静脈サラダを
もてなし上手のボクは､キミ達に好かれる為に
毎日サラダを作りました｡
採れたての野菜に採れたてのボクの静脈を
ドレッシングとして使用しました｡
幻覚に襲われる
歪んだボクに
つけるクスリはもう何処にも無くて
揺れる景色の中
安定を奪われた
静脈と動脈の関係
もてなし上手のボクは､キミ達に好かれる為に
毎日サラダを作ったのですが､
だんだん具合が悪くなってきました
主な症状は貧血です｡(普通にね)
回転速度を増して

The lyrics to 蜉蝣's song 静脈サラダ describe the desire for close relationships with both friends and romantic partners. The singer expresses the need for someone they can rely on and confide in, lamenting the absence of such people in their life. The first verse describes an increased mental awareness that allows the singer to recognize their need for meaningful connections. The chorus repeats the phrase "I want" in reference to wanting friends and a lover, while also addressing their feelings of isolation.
The second verse shifts focus to the creation of a salad by the singer, using their own veins as a dressing. This is described as a way to win the affection of others, though the singer is ultimately unsuccessful and becomes ill. The imagery of the salad and the use of the singer's own veins as dressing adds a disturbing but intriguing layer to the lyrics. In the final lines, the singer expresses physical pain while also affirming that their specialty is cooking.
Overall, the lyrics of 静脈サラダ touch on themes of loneliness, the desire for connection, and the lengths people will go to in order to try and form meaningful relationships. The use of vivid imagery, such as the salad with veins for dressing, adds a layer of intensity and intrigue to the lyrics.
